Bailey is a British singer-songwriter known for his blend of soul, blues, and alternative music, often incorporating elements of jazz and electronic production.

He initially gained recognition as the frontman of the band The Demands before pursuing a solo career, releasing albums such as “Where You Live” and “Ekundayo”.

Manchester Academy 2 is a mid-sized music venue located within the University of Manchester Students' Union. Originally opening in 1991 as a space for student events, it quickly became a popular location for touring bands across various genres. The venue has a capacity of approximately 500 and is known for its intimate atmosphere and strong sound system. It’s frequently used as a stepping stone for artists progressing from smaller clubs to larger arenas, hosting performances from both emerging talent and established acts. The building itself has undergone renovations over the years but retains much of its original character as part of the historic Students’ Union complex.
